The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has unveiled the draft design specifications for Solar Cold Storage (SCS), setting the stage for public feedback and stakeholder engagement. This move underscores
Solar power is getting a major boost in Bhutan. More schools, health units and monasteries in remote areas will get solar energy now. The officials of the department of power in Bhutan have
By N N Sachitanand Despite its limitations, the global growth rate of solar photo voltaic installations has spurted. Those who dislike nuclear energy because of its safety problems strongly tout solar energy as a clean and renewable alternate for India. India experiences clear sunny weather for over 250 days a year, with the average daily solar energy incident over the country being as high as 5.8 kilowatt-hours per square metre, With a land area of roughly 3 million sq km, this translates to a total energy incidence of 6000 trillion units/year (1 unit = 1 kilowatt hour).
A recent development in solar energy is a solar tower/chimney.It is a method used for large-scale generation of electricity from solar radiation.The principle is very simple.It is based on the well kn

This report provides a list of recommendations to the policy makers in China on improving the effectiveness of renewable energy policies domestically. This report was commissioned by REN21 and produced in collaboration with the Chinese Renewable Energy Industry Association (CREIA) and technology experts from various Chinese research institutions and the private sector.
This paper looks at three clean energy product categories: equipment energy efficiency; low-carbon transport, including high-efficiency vehicles and electric/plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EV/PHEVs); and solar photovoltaic (PV) power.
The Indian Semiconductor Association (ISA) has published a report entitled: 'Solar PV Industry 2010: Contemporary scenario and emerging trends'. This report looks at the contemporary scenario of the solar PV industry, both globally and within India. The analysis is based on a comprehensive review of secondary literature and extensive fieldwork.
